I think Pacman wins but not easy. I think both fighters hit the canvas in a Classic. Fight of the year for how long it lasts..Hatton wants a war and Pacman will get dragged in because he is a warrior. Evenutally Manny's speed will tell.

For what it's worth....on the last episode of Friday Night Fights on ESPN Teddy Atlas picked Ricky Fatton to win. Take that for what it's worth, but there's at least one person that thinks Fatton will win.
I personally don't see it. Fatton obviously has great issue with speed as seen in the devastating beat down that was handed him by Mayweather. Whether or not Manny's power is as great as Mayweather's is debatable, but none the less I just think to great for Fatton. I personally think Fatton is a fraud. He built his record in his home town where refs let him fight his fight. To some degree he hasn't been afforded as many liberties here in the states that he has across the pond.
In addition look at the fighters that have given Pacman a run for his money in his career.....Eric Morales beat him in '05, Juan Manuel Marquez took him to a draw in '04, then Pacman squeaked out a split decision against Marquez in '08...I can't for the love of me think that Fatton is anywhere near the class of fighter that those two guys are.
I think that only thing that could possibly be Pacman's downside is what's between his ears. If after beating the biggest box office draw in all of boxing for the past 10+ years in addition to the fact that I can count on one hand the number of people that think Fatton has a snowballs chance in hell, Pacman believes his own hype and doesn't take this fight seriously then he could come out a little lethargic, but I just don't see it.
I see Pacman stopping Fatton in somewhere between round 9 and 11.

I like Hatton to win this fight.. PacMan is solid but he does get hit a lot and Hatton is no joke, remember Hatton's only loss is to $ Mayweather... PacMan just beat a WASHED UP De La Hoya... Hatton knocks out PacMan

EVERYONE IS DOWN PLAYING HATTON MY LEAN IS PAC MAN, BUT THE FACT IS HATTON IS TRUE TO THE WEIGHT CLASS AND ISN'T A JOKE LIKE DE LA HOYA WAS AND LIKE EVERYONE IS MAKING HIM OUT TO BE. HE GOT BEAT BY $ MAYWEATHER BUT MAYWEATHER AND PAC MANS STYLES ARE DIFFERENT. ITS GOING MORE OF A BRAWL, SURE HATTON NEED TO STEP UP HIS SPEED BUT I WOULD THINK AFTER THE MAYWEATHER FIGHT HE WOULD KNOW THAT BY NOW.
LIKE I SAID MY LEAN IS PAC MAN BUT I SEE VALUE IN HATTON AS A DOG

Hatton is not as skilled as Marquez or Morales, but that doesn't mean he can't give Manny problems. Pacquiao was stronger and bigger than those men at 126 and 130. Hatton is a big junior welterweight, and I have real questions about Pacquiao's viability against a rough, inside fighter at 140.
Pacquiao is going to be focused and ready though. It's a huge fight, he wants to look tremendous again to earn a shot at Floyd. I'm just not sure Manny at his best will be good enough.

It'll be a Hagler-Hearns type shootout early. Then Hatton will try to brawl. Manny will cut. Hatton will cut. Hatton will get hurt repeatedly in the middle rounds. Manny will tire late. It'll be a tight decision.....and COMPUBOX will pick the winner.
